RIP Stuart Scott

[Monster]

Didn't see a thread, yet.

Really feel like I just lost a family member. Seeing a guy on TV for 2/3 of your life, watching him struggle through cancer, and giving big, emotional speeches before succumbing to this horrible disease...wow. The best I can say is that at least he's not in pain.

Did anyone see Rich Eisen's comments on him? Very emotional.

Has he still been on TV? Seems like I just saw him not too long ago. RIP Stu

I think his last public appearance was at the espy's in July.

I really didn't care for his act but it is always sad when a 49 year old father of 2 dies of cancer.

Best of the ESPN bunch. RIP. He beat cancer: "When you die, it does not mean that you lose to cancer. You beat cancer by how you live, why you live, and in the manner in which you live."

For me, I imagine this is what my parents generation felt when Walter Cronkite died.

I never knew the man, and yet, I am very saddened by this. Sports Center wasn't much fine without him, and I really enjoyed his commentary.

I'm honestly going to miss him.

Agreed 100%. His ESPY speech made this even harder to swallow.

Like many others I grew up watching him every morning before school and loved him as an anchor and broadcaster very much. All the best to his family. We've lost a tremendous man.

I didn't watch the ESPY's, so to be honest, I didn't even know he was sick. Loaded ESPN.com this morning and it was the feature story. Completely blind sided me.

Liked him when I was a kid and watching Sportscenter was actually tolerable.

RIP
